The SongCanvas
                        The First SOUNDCanvas Editor/Librarian

                                       Welcome!

          See README.WRI for the full "Read Me" information.  A Windows 3.1
          Write  document, README.WRI  gives  complete information  on: all
          files in  the CANVAS.ZIP archive; all  supported MIDI interfaces;
          and best  ways to enjoy  the SongCanvas.   It also  tackles legal
          aspects such as licensing, registration and warranty disclaimers.
          Once you print README.WRI, you may  safely delete this README.TXT
          file.

          However, since you've probably come here first, you might want to
          know how to quickly start the program.  So here it is.  Please go
          back to  the README.WRI file when you  get a chance.   I hope you
          like  the  SongCanvas.   Watch for the true  Windows/MME  version
          coming soon!

          Connect  a MIDI  cable  from  the  computer's  MIDI  Out  to  the
          SOUNDCanvas's MIDI In (this is pre-wired on the SCC-1).  Copy all
          files into  a new directory and  change to that directory.   Type
          one of these three commands and press <Enter>:

            C             runs on MIDI device #17 (SOUNDCanvas default).

            C  /D:18      runs on  device #18 (change "18" to  any device #
                          from 1 to 32).

            CANVAS/?      displays help screens  explaining all  SongCanvas
                          configuration options.   BE  SURE TO RUN  THIS IF
                          YOUR  MIDI INTERFACE  IS NOT  A  STANDARD MPU-401
                          SET-UP.

          When you get to the Main Menu, scroll down to the HELP option and
          press  <Enter>.  Read  some of the  text to get  comfortable, and
          you'll be off and running!
